personal opinion. everyone is going to have a slightly different way they order their pedals because there is a different sound depending on where they go in your chain. i have my tuner>wah>distortion>10 band eq all thru the front of my amp and nothing in the effects loop.

most modulation effects (flanger, phaser, chorus etc...) should be in your effects loop if you have one. no big deal if you put it all in front of the amp though
